First off, you will need to download a freeware video converter. Why? If you download demo’s they will probably put a watermark on your video or only let you convert 5 minutes worth of video.

I downloaded the Videora iPod Classic Converter, download it here. Install it ¹, when you’re done we’ll go on to the internet to search for videos ².

Go to your favorite Video site ³. I’m going to use YouTube in this case. Search for a video you would like to use. After that, Copy and paste the link to an online video converter or “grabber”. Some can convert it directly to MP4 for you like Video Code Zone ⁴ . Others, simply download it and give it to you in .flv format. Examples of these are: Downloader9 ⁵, VidDownloader and KeepVid ⁶.

After downloading them, open Videora. When it loads, click on the ‘Convert’ tab and under that list of tabs another one will appear, select “Video File”. Simply follow the rules it tells you. After converting videos it will send them to a folder created for them called Converted Videos in My Documents or add them tu your iTunes library depending on what MP4 you are using. If you have a Zune, add Converted Videos to your folders to search for videos.

There! You’re done. Pretty soon your MP4 will have 50+ videos! Enjoy!
